Josh Downs will continue his football career with the Indianapolis Colts, who took him Friday with the 16th pick of the third round and 79th overall selection at the NFL Draft. That’s the highest a UNC receiver has gone since Greg Little was the 57th overall selection and 2nd round pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2010. Downs was the ninth ACC player selected.
